Global Dignity Day — Day One

“Your dignity is your destiny.” Oroville Lee, former CFL player and SFU Alumni, now Youth Leader, was convincing as he described how he gained confidence and ultimately dignity as he grew up. “Reach out” and ask those around you for guidance, he says. As people see you working so hard to be a better person and achieve, they will work with you towards success. You don’t have to do this alone, is his message.

Students worked on their own stories of dignity, sharing them within this school community of peers. Thanks to Mr. Dave Rawnsley for his warm welcome, Ms. Iha Farquhar and speaking guests Chris Logan and Oroville Lee.

Global Dignity Day is held in many countries around the world. The Crown Prince of Norway and John Hope Ryan are two of the founders if this human endeavour.
